So getting ready to do my first install. I am using a Dezod Vacuum Manifold and I want to see if this is a proper setup.

Tap into Vacuum line at TB
T line in
run that to manifold
and now I can run the BOV, WG, Boost Gauge etc into the manifold

all set or should I tap in the WG separately?

Thanks in advance.

the best place would be to tap off the brake booster

Thanks for the replies. I am new at this, so be patient. I am doing my research as well, but sometimes I cant find definate answers. Dezod recommends tapping into the line at the TB, but you guys recommend tapping into the brake booster for everything or just the WG. Thanks again

Correct. This is the line near the TB.

tap it into the brake booster


now for the wastegate its all up to you most reccomend getting your wastegate source directly off the compressor for best results but getting it from the brake booster works too only problem i see is..

sometime when u get it straight off the compressor ull have a .5-1psi drop due to intercooler restriction...


BUT getting it ffrom the brake booster allows u to have full boost pressure but isnt really controlled sometimes itll spike when u first get into boost because of the delay of the reading to the wastegate, IMO its a minute spiek maybe .2-.5 of a psi no biggy your tuner WILL tune for this especially since your using the aem fic. i also suggest u get the aem fic map reading from the vaccum block aswell

Yea, I am running the fic to the vacuum manifold as well as BOV, Boost gauge and WG. I like the idea of only one t fitting. Less for me too screw up or have bad leaks.

Thanks again

Ok Im positive this is the line I've tapped into...the one "on top" of the TB?

thats not the brake booster....


the brake booster is the thick line that runs acroos the firewall above the intake manifold....it starts off rubber at the left end then its metal and is against the firewall, then its rubber again
